I'd definitely reccomend Oblivion if you've got a lot of time to spend and your loved ones arn't going to start being concerned about your whereabouts. Yup, it's that sort of game. I was very skeptical about it at first because I'd hated Morrowind so much, but Oblivion was a definite improvement.

Not sure what the PS3 port is like, I seem to remember the PC one had a few bugs here and there, which were easily fixed.

I have banned myself from ever getting involved in MMORPG's. I have wasted too much of my life online as it is!

I met (once again) a girl on the weekend that I first encountered a couple of months ago. The first time I met her she was incredibly steaming and ranting about Middle East politics, Allah/God/belief, and pronunciation of Arabic. My mate, Tarek, and his wife wanted to adopt her. I told her that I loved her and she drunkenly laughed it off.

I went to Tesco this afternoon to get some Innocent smoothie and a copy of The Independent. When I went to the paper-selling bit of the shop they had no copies of The Independent. They also had no copies yesterday and, thinking about it, didn't have any last Sunday either...

I've been reading about John Titor once again today. I haven't read it for many months but we were discussing time travel in work (as you do) and I mentioned him to a colleague, so I looked up the site to show him. Then I read it again in the context of today.

2. That's a rather arrogant answer - depending on who you ask, I'm sure lots of people could come up with criteria for establishing who should or shouldn't live, but it's unlikely that two people will ever have exactly the same criteria, or that any of them will make any sense.

3. Sounds like he's dodging the questions to me.

4. Sounds to me like he's rather into generalizations and oversimplifications. Sure, some people do that sort of stupid shit, but not everyone.

5. Actually his physics (and "z-field compression") is completely bunk, which I think is the basis for rejecting the whole thing outright.

OK, I don't have time to go through the rest of this, but I think it's basically just the rantings of someone who believes that they can influence people's opinions by more of the same - fear mongering and lies. Just like the Bush adminstration. Play on people's fears of a universal armageddon in the hopes that they'll adjust their lives to more closely fit whatever warped ideal happens to be in that person's head.
